I Oppose
 

I oppose this anti-hunting proposal. 

No modification of this proposal will make the notion of “Dog Trespass” an acceptable legal concept. 

DWR's own data shows that dog hunters are not a problem!

Negative DWR regulations such as this proposal drive hunters away and in turn creates a void of people who truly care about wildlife as opposed to developing land and ruining habitats. DWR should continue to follow its mission statement and recognize/appreciate that this regulation does nothing positive for present and future generations of wildlife and the hunters who care so deeply about it.
